Should that brainwashed, murderous terrorist who left Britain to join ISIS be allowed back in our country to live?

I'm afraid the reality is, regardless of public opinion, the legal stance is that no one individual is allowed to become stateless - hence the government will concede that she should return & go through the courts here in the UK.

@RodneyTrotter Of course, not forgetting also, that as a British Citizen, she also has human rights, which the government must also acknowledge/adhere to, one of which is the right to a fair trial

@RodneyTrotter Either way, the situation is going to cost the British taxpayer a lot of £££££££. The extradition process, custody services, Police/CPS proceedings, trial by jury (if it came to that), then a custodial sentence would run into millions. Not to mention, welfare services as this woman now apparently has given birth to a child.

@RodneyTrotter What people don't realise is, it's not so simple. Statute law cannot be changed overnight, it is a long, complicated business, with legislation procedures passing through both commons & House of Lords.

@RodneyTrotter UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights) Article 10: the right to fair public hearing. Whichever way you look at it, rightly or wrongly, her lawyers will have her brought back to Britain under this

@RodneyTrotter The problem there lies in the fact that, according to our justice system, an individual is innocent until proven guilty. Thereby it is the jury who decides whether someone is guilty, based on evidence presented to the court - so how can we (for example) declare that British girl is a terrorist, without a trial?

@RodneyTrotter It was actually Winston Churchill & a team of British lawyers who drew up the very first papers for the charter of human rights in the 1940's & the UK was the first country to ratify the treaty (sign it). Originally, the human rights were created to prevent the atrocities of WW11 (torture etc) from ever happening again.

@RodneyTrotter I do understand what you're saying, however the law is very strictly based on facts - & there is no law which states that a person not be allowed to return to their country because they might pose a risk.
